The coreutils has a hostname command; this package already dealt with that existing as an alternate, but for some reason it did not do the same with the manpage of the same name. The conflict varied from intermittent to "why does this keep happening to me?!?".
Mark gets credit for the fix; he didn't want to bear witness to yet another premature death of a USB keyboard and suggested the change here; which I then largely just confirmed as functional, since I happened to "be so lucky" as to have the reproducer. The failure showed up in do_rootfs as follows: ERROR: cube-graphical-builder-0.2-r0 do_rootfs: [log_check] cube-graphical-builder: found 1 error message in the logfile: [log_check] update-alternatives: Error: not linking tmp/work/qemuarm64-overc-linux/cube-graphical-builder/0.2-r0/rootfs/usr/share/man/man1/hostname.1 to /usr/share/man/man1/hostname.1.coreutils since tmp/work/qemuarm64-overc-linux/cube-graphical-builder/0.2-r0/rootfs/usr/share/man/man1/hostname.1 exists and is not a link Cc: Mark Hatle <[email protected]> Cc: Joe MacDonald <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <[email protected]> diff --git a/meta-networking/recipes-connectivity/inetutils/inetutils_1.9.4.bb b/meta-networking/recipes-connectivity/inetutils/inetutils_1.9.4.bb index a8c40254bad7..e3c27817661d 100644 --- a/meta-networking/recipes-connectivity/inetutils/inetutils_1.9.4.bb +++ b/meta-networking/recipes-connectivity/inetutils/inetutils_1.9.4.bb @@ -143,6 +143,9 @@ ALTERNATIVE_${PN}-traceroute = "traceroute" ALTERNATIVE_${PN}-hostname = "hostname" ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME[hostname] = "${base_bindir}/hostname" +ALTERNATIVE_${PN}-doc = "hostname.1" +ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME[hostname.1] = "${mandir}/man1/hostname.1" + ALTERNATIVE_${PN}-ifconfig = "ifconfig" ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME[ifconfig] = "${base_sbindir}/ifconfig" -- 2.7.4 -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
